The bench is in the shade and offers a view over the fields. Far in the distance is the former mill.

From the slightly elevated Belauer Straße you have a certain view of the lake.

The path runs far above the lake, so you can enjoy a beautiful view over the water.

The path directly along the Perdoel estate to the bridge over the Alte Schwentine is private and closed. The lord of the manor does not like hikers using this path.

Information board: "To distract themselves from the arduousness of the walk, there was a lot of singing, storytelling, and teasing along the way. For the children and young people, the walk was a part of their leisure time, because once they got home, they were firmly integrated into the family's daily routine and work routine. These footpaths were chosen so that they could be used in all seasons; without leaving too many marks on shoes and clothes. These had to be cared for at all times, as funds for new clothing were limited. While routes 1, 2, and 3 primarily took children to the Lütt and Grootschools, route 4 takes a shortcut towards Altekoppel and the swimming area. The narrow path no. 6 on the back of the Vierer Berg shortened the route via the "Stech" to Belau or the former Schönböken train station."

The Hollenbek River rises in Mißmaaßen. This is notable because the Drögen Eider River rises 500 meters further west. Thus, this is where the boundary between the North Sea and Baltic Sea drainages runs.

The riverside path through the mixed forest is very pleasant to walk on. The proximity to the riverbank is barely noticeable in summer, as the undergrowth almost completely blocks the view. The large oak trees are striking, indicating the path's great age.
